Paper & Patterns
We use quality origami paper at Paper Blooms in a wide range of patterns.
​
For most items, we will be choosing from the fine, high grade paper currently on hand as set out in the pattern wheels below.
​
We also have a range of other paper which we use depending on availability and suitability for purpose.
​
When you shop our page, for many items, you can use the drop down box for the product to pick the overall colour and style of the paper you would like, and we will then make an artist's specific choice. If there is no drop down box, the paper used, is as pictured for the product.
​
If you would like to make a different or more specific pattern choice, please use the 'Add a note' box at checkout or the 'chat' box to tell us what you would like.
​
You can use the pattern wheels below to help decide and tell us. The particular pattern in these wheels can be identified by (roughly, hour hand) clock referencing. For example Traditional 1 at 2 o'clock (T1, #2) is the red and white fish pattern and Traditional 1, 9 o'clock (T1, #9) is the fine blue and white waves pattern.
